About

Dr. Satoshi Kohama is a robotics researcher specializing in the locomotion and control systems of small humanoid robots, with a particular focus on their application in nursing care and welfare. His work addresses the critical challenge of enabling compact humanoid platforms to navigate complex, obstacle-filled domestic environments. A key contribution is the development of advanced control systems that allow these robots to perform dynamic tasks, such as overcoming steps, which is essential for real-world home assistance. While his most-cited paper, "Development of control system for small humanoid robot" (2017), has garnered 1 citation, it represents foundational work in a niche but vital area of service robotics. Dr. Kohama’s research bridges the gap between theoretical control algorithms and practical, safe mobility for robots intended to support an aging society. His efforts contribute to the broader goal of creating autonomous, physically capable home robots that can move freely and assist with daily tasks, marking him as a dedicated contributor to the future of human-robot interaction and assistive technology.
